How to Check the Command Line Without Installing the Latest Version of the Python Module

There seems to be no such option for pip.

An alternative that you can come up with is dry-run installation, such as easy_install-ndjango, but it will even download the package.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Django/json It seems easy to create a script to retrieve and view information from.

info.py:

import urlib
import sys
import json
uo=urllib.urlopen('https://pypi.python.org/pypi/%s/json'%sys.argv[1])
pkg = json.load(uo)
print pkg ['info'] ['version']

$python 2.7 info.py django
1.8a1

I have received similar questions/answers from my home, so I will share them with you.
